Only if your walking puts you in calorie deficit. Walking is for overall fitness. (But I find I lose more easily if I'm walking.)

I'm averaging around 8000, and I really should push another 2000. Count me in! Let's do this!

I'm in!

I haven't even been hitting 5k steps a day so this will be a challenge for me but I need / want to get walking a lot more so I am up for it Happy Monday all!

10K steps, for most, is thought to help maintain. For many to drop any weight you have to go to 15k to 20 K . You have to figure out your deficit though. Just walking, if you still have don't have a calorie deficit ci<co, wont do anything for you.

I was walking about 20K to 30K last summer and that REALLY helped create a deficit lol

We should all aim for 10K steps to maintain a healthy lifestyle.. or so many "researches" say. I don't know much about walking and health seeing as I'm not an expert and haven't done any intensive studies etc in this.

BUT..

Moving of any kind when you don't move is always an improvement.. If you only walk around the block, you still outdid the person just sitting on the couch :P

With that said.

YES 10K OR MORE !! we can do it ! go go go !!

My fitbit broke this am won't keep a charge!!! It went black on me! Not going to let that stop me I was over 5,000 when it stopped had a great workout this morning! Good luck everyone!

Do you have a smart phone? You could download an app but you have to remember to carry your phone everywhere, lol. That's why I gave in and bought a fitbit. But in a pinch the phone could work

I do extra silly things at home to ensure I get more steps in. Park far away from grocery store entrance, walking as I fold my laundry etc etc.

we gotz this!! go go go!

Yes I do that too - I also take the stairs a couple extra times - like when I go down to the basement to put laundry in the dryer, I go up and down the stairs a couple times before coming back up.

I'm in!
